Chapter 4 Departure
When Chubby really took off his shoes and smelled and detained his athlete's foot, Chubby and I were already on the train from Beijing to Xi'an. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe train departs from Beijing at a quarter past nine in the evening and arrives in Xi'an at ten o'clock in the morning the next day. Since Xiaopang and Ge You have the same problem of "fear of planes" and are afraid of flying, we can only spend more time.
Chubby was sitting cross-legged on the bottom bunk of the sleeper and chatting with a beautiful woman across from me, while I was lying on the middle bunk thinking about things.
Sure enough, as Xiaopang said, after listening to another thing he relayed 'Wumen Tianxia first', I decided to go with Xiaopang to visit the tombs of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. "Wumen Tianxia first" said that this thing is like the silk thread that wears beads, so that the original scattered and seemingly clueless things are strung together, "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only the original body is in this mountain", perhaps just as this ancient poem says, when the parties in it jump out of it and look back, they can understand the truth, and this truth can only be truly understood by the parties who have experienced these things. The whole thing seemed to suddenly have a rough outline in my mind.
I suddenly realized that these strange things that have happened since I left my job have a great connection with the two legendary figures of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and not only that, but I was surprised to find that if this truth was really as I imagined, what a shocking discovery it would be, and this discovery was not only related to myself, but also related to the sudden disappearance of my cousin more than ten years ago, and even related to my father and mother, and even more...... As for the thing that 'Wu Men is the first in the world', it may not be confirmed until Yuan Li's tomb.
And the purpose of Chubby's trip is of course not just for money, I know that Chubby is actually an out-and-out "tomb robbery fan", maybe he was infected by his uncle, his obsession with tomb robbery is no less than some people are obsessed with stock speculation and buying lottery tickets, although I know that I may not get anything in return, and even sometimes I invest more than I return, but I always can't give it up, and I itch when I think about it, which is difficult for outsiders to understand. Take this time as an example, although the 'spirit snake bead' he got by chance has the Taoist saying that "those who are not three talents will die in ten days", but by virtue of the magical scene it shows, even if no buyer dares to buy it to collect, but if it is made public, it is also a major discovery that is enough to subvert the history of ancient Chinese science and technology, and the result must be fame and fortune, but Xiaopang seems to be unable to give up this bead, but he wants to rely on this bead to steal the fight, as if this bead was born as a part of his life, is he really what Taoism saidWhat about me? If the truth of the matter is as I suspected, is this also a kind of fate?
The destination of our trip is a place called "Phoenix Terrace" on the outskirts of Xianyang, which is about seven or eight kilometers away from the famous "Qianling" --- the joint burial mausoleum of the only female emperor in Chinese history and her husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, in the northeast direction of Qianling. According to legend, Qianling is the site of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chun's selection.
Before this trip, I did my homework and searched the Internet for the introduction of Qianling, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, as well as the mausoleum of Yuan and Li.
Qianling, located in Liangshan, 6 kilometers north of Qianxian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, is one of the Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty in Guanzhong District, Shaanxi, built in 684 AD, after 23 years, the project was basically completed. Liangshan is a conical limestone mountain, there are three peaks, the north peak is the highest, the altitude is meters, and the Qianling is on the north peak. The two peaks in the south of Liangshan are lower, the east and west face each other, and the middle is Sima Dao, so these two peaks are named "Milk Peak". According to historical records, the mausoleum originally had two inner and outer city walls, four city gates, and many magnificent buildings such as the dedication hall and the tower. Exploration has shown that the total area of the inner city is 2.4 million square meters. The city wall is on all sides, there is the Suzaku Gate in the south, the Xuanwu Gate in the north, the Qinglong Gate in the east, and the White Tiger Gate in the west.
There is an interesting legend about the location of the Qianling Tomb: soon after Tang Gaozong ascended the throne, he sent his uncle Changsun Wuji and Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng, who was in charge of the astronomical calendar, to choose a place for his mausoleum. One day, the two looked at Liang Mountain, only to see that the three peaks of this mountain were towering, and the main peak was straight into the sky. The east is separated by Wushui and Jiuzhi Mountain, and the west is connected with Loujing Mountain and Qishan Mountain. The two waters of Wu and Qi hug each other in front of the mountain, forming a water wall and encircling the dragon qi in the ground. Liangshan is a rare piece of "dragon vein holy land" in the world. After the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Chunfeng chose the site of the mausoleum, they returned to Beijing to report to Gaozong. When Yuan Tiangang heard about it, he strongly opposed it. It turned out that he had been to Liangshan for the site of Gaozu's mausoleum, and he knew the advantages and disadvantages of this mountain feng shui. He said to Gaozong: "Liangshan is a treasure of feng shui from the outside, but there are many deficiencies in a closer look: first, although Liangshan is surrounded by water on both sides, it can surround the dragon qi, but it is cut off from the dragon vein of Taizong. The dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty branched out from Kunlun Mountain to cross the Yellow River, entered the Guanzhong, and spread eastward to Jiuzhi Mountain, Jinsu Mountain, Sagashan Mountain, and Yaoshan Mountain, headed by Qishan. Today, Taizong has been buried in Jiuzhi Mountain, which is the head of the dragon. Your Majesty can't be in the front in the future, and Liangshan is not the head of the dragon, but the tail of the dragon vein of the Zhou Dynasty, the tail gas will decline, and His Majesty is powerless to govern the country. The second is that the north peak of Liangshan is high, there are two peaks in front of it like a woman's milk, and the whole mountain shape looks like a young woman lying flat from a distance. His Majesty chose this mausoleum, fearing that it would be controlled by women from now on. The third is that the main peak of Liangshan is straight, which belongs to Muge, and the south two peaks are round and profitable, and belong to Jinge. Although the three peaks are upright, they look flat from a distance and are earthy. Jin can overcome wood, the earth can produce gold, the entire mountain-shaped dragon qi helps gold, under the main peak of the underground palace camp, His Majesty the Lord will be controlled by the people of Jinge. According to the minister's humble opinion, if the mausoleum site is set on this mountain, His Majesty will be hurt by women in the future!" After listening to Yuan Tiangang's grand arguments, Gaozong hesitated and withdrew from the court. Wu Zetian's cronies had already informed the Wu family, and the Wu family was very happy to hear it, and she secretly thought to herself: When I was a child, I heard my father say that Yuan Tiangang said that I can be a female emperor in the future, and it seems that it will come true. In the evening, he blew a pillow wind on Gaozong, naturally praising the eldest grandson Wuji and belittling Yuan Tiangang. In the early morning of the next day, Gaozong issued a holy decree and set Liangshan as the mausoleum site. When Yuan Tiangang heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Those who represent the Tang Dynasty will be martial Zhaoyi." He was afraid that he would be implicated in the future, so he resigned and went out to travel. After the site of the mausoleum was chosen, how to determine the name was debated endlessly. Some ministers suggested: The name of Taizong's mountain mausoleum is Zhaoling, which has the meaning of showing the emperor's spirit, and His Majesty's mausoleum is named Chengling to inherit Taizong's grace. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Liangshan is located in the northwest of Chang'an, and it belongs to the position of a cadre in the gossip, and the dry is the yang, the sky, and the emperor. Chang'an is the imperial capital of His Majesty in this world, and Liangshan is naturally the heavenly imperial capital of His Majesty's longevity. According to the minister's opinion, let's name it Qianling!" Gaozong was very happy to hear this, so he named it Qianling. Where did the eldest grandson Wuji know that what Yuan Tiangang said was that Liangshan was full of yin and could not be selected as the mausoleum site. Now that it is named Qianling, isn't it destined that a woman will be the emperor? All subsequent developments have fulfilled Yuan Tiangang's prophecy.
Judging from the information found on the Internet, the tombs of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have many places all over the country, but most of them are fake tombs and doubtful tombs, and there are two of the most widespread claims at present, one is in the Tiangong Courtyard in Langzhong, Nanchong City, which has now become a famous scenic tourist area in Langzhong, and the other is the Jingang Tomb in Bailuyuan on the outskirts of Xi'an. However, these two places are just rumors, and there are no real unearthed cultural relics and documentary records to corroborate. In fact, about Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng these two people themselves are very mysterious, although they are important ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and left a lot of famous posthumous works, but the strange thing is that the things of these two are rarely recorded in the history books, I don't know what the reason is, and about their tombs, there is no trace in the history books, only through Li Chunfeng's "Golden Lock Flowing Bead Introduction" to know that the location of the real tomb of the two of them is only recorded in the Taoist Treasure Spirit Snake Bead.
According to Xiaopang, according to the 'Wumen Tianxia first' record analysis of the spirit snake beads, the scene in the spirit snake beads should indicate the real location of the tomb of Yuan and Li, this star map is actually drawn according to the river map Luoshu, in feng shui, it is "the sky leads the earth", that is, through the astrological record of geographical location, with Kunlun Mountain as the main line, depicting the specific direction of China's major mountain ranges and rivers, according to the corresponding geographical location analysis of the star position in the star chart, the Beidou "bucket arch" in the star chart The location is located in Liangshan in Xianyang, Shaanxi, which is exactly where the Qianling Tomb is located, and the end of the "bucket handle" is about seven or eight kilometers northeast of the Qianling Tomb. The location of this "bucket arch" should be the location of the tomb of Yuan and Li, and the end of the "bucket handle" is the entrance to the tomb.
At that time, I felt very strange after listening to Xiaopang's analysis of 'Wu Men Tianxia Xian', since Yuan Tiangang was once hated by Wu Zetian, why did the tomb of him and his apprentice be near Wu Zetian's tomb, and judging from the astrological chart, it actually overlapped with Wu Zetian's tomb? What is the reason for this? Could it be that the analysis of 'Wu Men is the first in the world'? But with the experience and knowledge of 'Wu Men in the world', it should not be wrong? Why is this so? Maybe we will know the reason only then?
For the other three scenes in the spirit snake beads, the explanation of "Wumen is the first in the world" is: the picture of the pavilion should be the situation in the tomb of Yuan Li, from the picture, the tomb of Yuan Li should be large-scale, the gossip and mysterious lines should record the location of the tomb and the coffin, we have to rely on this map after entering the tomb, and the four seal characters are "Tiangang Beidou".
Before I knew it, I fell asleep and woke up to more than eight o'clock in the morning, and in more than an hour, the train would arrive at Xi'an Station. Maybe Xiaopang chatted too late with the beautiful woman opposite, and was still snoring in the lower bunk, I washed my face, brushed my teeth, sat on the seat in the aisle, looked at the scenery outside the window and kept passing behind, I felt quite touched in my heart, I don't know how the good luck will be, what will happen.
